This is a project originated from a personal experience of being powerless over identity appropriation online. When I was still living in Brazil for a several months (around 5 months) I had struggled with trying to control fake Tinder profiles that appropriated my identity by using photos and personal information. Whenever the fakes where reported, the profiles were brought down by Tinder, but after a while a new one would be made. I have made two different police reports in this case but nothing could be done about it. | This is a project originated from a personal experience of being powerless over identity appropriation online.

''Since I could not reclaim my own image on Tinder, perhaps I could appropriate the image of myself as a fake and exaggerate it to the point that I can discredit my image on Tinder.'' | ''Since I could not reclaim my own image on Tinder, perhaps I could appropriate the image of myself as a fake and exaggerate it to the point that I can discredit my image on Tinder.'' | ||

The proposition is to make several Tinder fakes using prints of the original Tinder fake as photos. I have made one test profile and changed the GPS location to simulate being at my hometown. With the use of a scrip I enabled automatic like on everyone on the Tinderweb app. Initially I intended on continuing this project by trying to develop a chatbot to respond to any matches made, but due to the time available and no prior experience with this, it was not viable. The test profile was reported and the account is now blocked. | The proposition is to make several Tinder fakes using prints of the original Tinder fake as photos.

After several hours of game-play recorded the end result is a 3 hours video of continuously game-play of the Mountain with live video-audio recording of myself with a texts comments. This video was uploaded to Youtube but was instantly blocked worldwide for infringing several copyrights for the music playing in the background during the recording. | After several hours of game-play recorded the end result is a 3 hours video of continuously game-play of the Mountain with live video-audio recording of myself with a texts comments.
